Before the season
editRoster Changes
editThe Chippewas lost two starters from their 2008–09 season. Marcus Van, who last year led the team with 13.0 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game, graduated.[1] The other starter, Jacolby Hardiman was convicted of a high-court misdemeanor and later transferred to Robert Morris University.[2] Hardiman was responsible for 9.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. The Chippewas also lost six other starters, which included one senior, two sophomores, and three freshmen. To replace them, the Chippewas are adding five players to their roster. Two of those are true freshman while the other three are transfers from junior colleges.
